The Barricade Rivet Style Fender Flare Kit is for those of you that have a 1997-2006

TJ that are looking to swap out the flares for ones that are going to give you some additional

coverage, as well as a different look.

You can get wider flares that are factory style flares, but as it says in the name,

this is going to be a rivet style flare.

So you're gonna have these pockets in the flare and the rivet hardware is going to be

visible, giving you a little bit of that more off-road, more tough look, if that's what

you're after.

This set of flares is going to install very easily onto your TJ.

Definitely a one-out-of-three-wrench installation.

The only thing that can make this a little bit more difficult is some rust on your Jeep.

So if you do have some rust, give yourself a little bit of extra time.

But overall, this shouldn't be something that takes you much more than two hours to complete,

and we'll talk a little bit more about that installation in just a second.

So like I said, if you have a TJ, chances are your factory flares are going to be faded.

Maybe some of them are cracked, otherwise, just looking a little bit older.

You can spray them.

You can dye them.

You can hit them with a heat gun to try and bring the black back.

But if you want something that is truly new, fresh, right out of the box, and you're also

looking for additional tire coverage and something that gives you a different look, then that's

where these are going to come in.

This is going to be a very nice option for you, and it's going to be priced right in

the same realm as a lot of other ones out there.

There are going to be some different options out there for a wider rivet style flare kit.

I happen to like this one from Barricade.

I think it's well built.

I think it fits well.

It looks good.

And the price is right.

For construction, this is a tough ABS plastic.

It's designed to flex a little bit before it breaks, so if you are off-road and you

rub this up against a tree, it is going to give you a little bit of movement before you

were to break one of these flares.

As I've said a couple of times now, they have these cutouts, the pockets so that you can

see these rivets.

And all of the hardware that is needed to install these is going to be included, as

well as some rubber weather stripping that goes on this edge that goes right up against

the Jeep.

And that's going to help keep these from chafing the Jeep as you're driving down the road.

So your paint is going to be nice and safe, even after installing these.

Now, as you can see, this is going to be a six piece kit.

I have one front, one rear, and one mini flare here, but you do get all six pieces.

So, very complete, going to replace everything that you currently have with something nice

and fresh.

And I've mentioned a couple times that these are wider than factory.

These are going to give you 6 inches of coverage.

So whether you have a wider tire, less backspacing on your wheel, maybe both, and you're looking

for some additional coverage, these are going to provide that as well.

As for the installation, again, one out of three wrenches, maybe a little bit over two

hours to get these installed, but that will depend on how much rust you have on your Jeep.

Those factory flares are held in place with a lot of nutserts that are attached into the

body.

And if you have rust between that and the factory hardware, the nutsert can spin, making

it difficult to get everything apart.

Now, in the areas where you can gain access to the backside and actually hold that nutsert

with a pair of pliers, usually you can break everything loose.

But there are a couple of spots where you don't have access to the back of the nutsert.

And in that case, you're going to be drilling things out.

You're going to be grinding things off.

You're going to be reinstalling nutserts or using nut and bolt hardware if you can get

to the backside and the nutsert is no good.

So you might have to get a little bit creative if you do have some rust.

Spraying everything with a good penetrating oil well before you get started will give

you the best chance of a nice, smooth installation.

Now, the process is going to be fairly straightforward and fairly simple.

You're just going to be removing all of the hardware that attaches those flares onto the

Jeep.

Up front, make sure you pull the turn signal socket out of the turn signal housing before

you remove the whole flare from the vehicle.

Then you can unbolt your turn signal and bolt it into your new flare.

That is a nice feature of these flares, that you can reuse that factory turn signal housing.

You're not buying an additional light or trying to wire an aftermarket light in place.

This is going to work with your factory stuff.

Outback, the process is very much the same of unbolting everything.

You are going to have to pull that inner fender liner away a little bit if you do need to

gain access to the backside of some of those nutserts.

But all in all, you're just removing the hardware, removing the flare, bolting the new ones up

with the new hardware.

Very straightforward, but if you have some rust, take your time.

You are going to need your patience.

This set of six flares comes in at right around $300, and I do think that's going to be a

pretty good deal for you.

There are some other options out there that fall in and around this price range, so I

do think these are very fairly priced.

I like this design.

I like the way they look, and I like the way they fit.

So, if you're shopping for new flares, I think these ones are appropriately priced and a

nice choice.

So if you're looking to swap out those factory fender flares on your TJ with an aftermarket

set that is brand new, factory fresh, wider than factory, and also offers a different

style, I definitely recommend taking a look at this option here from Barricade.

And you can find them right here at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler MORryde Frame Side Mount Jerry Can Holder (1987-2006 YJ, TJ) Review & Install - Duration: 4:25.

If you're a Jeep owner that goes on long trips or spends all day on the trail, it's always

handy to carry some extra fuel for those just-in-case moments.

Nobody wants to hear the low-fuel ding in the middle of the woods, and that's where

MORryde Side Mount Jerry Can Holder comes in handy.

Carrying extra fuel inside the Jeep is not the ideal situation and it's not really safe

because of the fumes become overwhelming.

And spills are always in the back of our heads.

Mounting this outside is perfect for that.

And this also makes it very easily accessible.

Spare tire Jerry can holders are very popular, but this side-mounted option is great if you

already have a trail tool mounted on your rear tire like a high-lift jack.

This is a no-drill mount so it's easy to install and uninstall quickly for accessibility or

for big obstacles on the trail, so I'm giving this a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty

meter.

This is a really solid setup MORryde design, and even though it might seem simple, it has

a bunch of benefits.

The tray and the mount are both made of solid steel with a textured black finish that will

resist any rust or corrosion from forming from those outside elements.

There are two tray options when it comes to MORryde's Jerry can holders.

You either have the choice of a short tray or a tall tray that you see here.

This tall tray option is better if you have a taller Jerry can because there's backing

that will give the Jerry can support when it's strapped down.

This also comes with a rubber mat for the bottom of the tray to avoid any noisiness

or bumping around on the trail, and an adjustable ratchet strap to hold the Jerry can tight.

With that, the tray can hold any traditional NATO or Specter style can so you have some

options when choosing what you're putting your fuel in.

This mounts directly to the Jeep's frame so it's very stable and will prevent your Jerry

cans from swinging around.

Plus, you can mount this on either side of the Jeep.

What I really like about this option is that you can easily install it and take it off

whenever you're not using it or if you get hung up on the trail.

The tray's steel arm attaches to the frame mount with a simple pin that resembles a tow-hook

pin.

So all you have to do is pull the pin when you need to remove it.

Since this has a unique mounting point for the TJs and YJs, there's not much to compare

it to on the site at the moment.

At this time, you're looking at spending about $150 for the tray and the side mount.

Like I mentioned before, there is a short tray option on the site, and that's gonna

run you about $5 less.

That's more for the Jeep owner who doesn't need as much support for their shorter fuel

cans.

All other choices for Jerry can storage on the site are mounts for the spare tire carriers.

These options will run you about the same price as this side-mounted option.

But if you already have a mount on the spare, for other items, this will provide you an

alternative solution.

Not to mention, MORryde sells just the tray separately.

So if anything were to happen to the tray or if you would like to switch it up with

a shorter tray, it will only cost you about $30.

Installing this one is gonna be very easy and will probably only take you about 15 to

20 minutes to install, making this a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter.

You're gonna need some basic hand tools to get this installed.

The receiver bolts to the frame and should be positioned in front of the doors behind

the body tub mount.

The mounting straps go on the inside edge of the frame rail and the bolts go through

the straps to secure the receiver to the frame.

Then, you can slip the carrier into the receiver and secure the hitch with the pin and the

anti-rattle bolt.

Once the mount is intact, the tray can be installed using the four flat-head screws

and nuts and washers provided.

If you would like to, at this time, you can attach the rubber mat to the bottom of the

tray by removing the backer and pressing down firmly.

Once the install is done, you can strap down your Jerry can with the ratchet strap and

hit the trail.

So if you're looking for extra fuel storage for long trips on the trail, this MORryde

Jerry Can Holder is a perfect option to check out.

This is Meredith with XT, and you can find this and everything else Wrangler, right here

at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler Barricade Double Tubular Front Bumper (1987-2006 YJ & TJ) Review & Install - Duration: 3:24.

The Barricade double tubular front bumper in gloss black is for those of you that have

a 1987 to 2006 either YJ or TJ, that are looking for a tubular front bumper to give you a little

bit more of that classic look.

There are gonna be a couple different tubular bumpers out there.

A lot of them are going to be the same three-inch round tubes, but some of them have a little

bit of a different detail on the end here, how they wrap around, if they're just straight,

how they're capped off.

So that's how these are gonna be a little bit different.

Overall, I like this one.

It is metal ends on the end here that are welded right on there.

They're not plastic caps that are on there.

So I think that this one's pretty well constructed.

And overall, it's going to be a very easy installation as well.

It's gonna bolt right onto that TJ or YJ, in place of that factory bumper.

Definitely a one-out-of-three wrench installation, in less than an hour.

And we'll talk a little bit more about that in just a second.

So, as far as features go, tubular bumpers are more of an aesthetic bumper, for the most

part.

There are some that you can get that will have a winch mount.

Some will have recovery points but for the most part, they're just aesthetic and that's

what this one is.

It does have two light mount tabs up on the top here for running a set of factory or aftermarket

auxiliary lights.

But it's not going to have any recovery points, any winch points, any points to jack up the

Jeep using a Hi-Lift jack.

Nothing like that.

This is going to be pretty simple, pretty straight-forward, and just give you a little

bit of that old school look.

As far as tubular bumpers go, I think this one is very fairly priced.

Again, I mentioned that it has the welded metal caps on the end instead of plastic caps.

So I think that there is a lot of attention to detail here.

The gloss black powder coat finish is really nice.

So I do think it's gonna be worth the price.

As for construction, like I said, this is very simple.

This is gonna be three-inch tube covered in that gloss black powder coat finish.

It has a couple of tabs welded on it.

Those are going to be your mounting holes.

Again, it'll bolt directly onto either a TJ or a YJ.

These corners here just sweep back a little bit, giving it some style.

You have those welded caps and you have a couple of light mount tabs on top.

Very simple bumper that's gonna give you that tubular, old school look.

As for the installation, one out of three wrenches.

One hour to get this installed.

All that you'll have to do is remove the factory hardware holding that factory bumper into

place.

Of course, if you have any lights mounted on that bumper, you'll want to disconnect

those as well, unbolt them, and be able to bolt them on to your new bumper.

But you can hold off until the new bumper's installed on the Jeep.

So, once that factory bumper's out of the way, go ahead and slide this over the frame

horns.

Bolt it down.

Then you can attach any lights that you have onto your new bumper with the light mount

tabs and you're gonna be finished with the install.

I mentioned before that, I think this is a pretty fairly priced bumper.

This comes in at $130.

And I think for the quality that you get, that is definitely going to be a fair price.

A lot of the plate steel, more off-road-ready bumpers are gonna be significantly more expensive.

They're gonna have more features and they're gonna be built stronger.

If you're not looking for that, if you don't need that, save your money.

You can go with something like this, if you like this tubular look.

It's gonna be far less expensive and it's still going to drastically change up the look

of your Jeep.

So, if you like the look of a tubular bumper on your Jeep, I think this is a very high-quality

option, available from Barricade.
